Donovan Week 2

 practice 9/14/20

Deeeeh 54321

135875321 iiiieuuuu, It felt relaxed, without hotdog. I focused on expanding my belly

1356531 upandovernoblesound still feels kinda clunky, but I feel like I did a better job finding the noble eh.

Der Vogelfanger

Plan: practice without paper.

Result: Much better than last practice, I messed up on the timing for seit ich and I did something funky with will sich eine

2nd attempt: Excelent. Missed seit ich gekostet, besides that it was flawless memory wise.

Bella sicomme angelo

Goal: Finnish learning melody and connect it with accomp.

plan: Quiz self without any accomp.

Result: I decided to change the plan and test myself by singing without the double in accomp. I did a lot better than I expected. The long runs and a few other parts were challenging for me.


Practice 9/16/20

Aaaae 54321, Good, I got to a low F, I used that mask a sensory device to see if my jaw was tense.

aiaiai 151515, good, jaw was relaxed. 

aaaeiiii 135875321 Good, good support.


The Suicide Aria

No help

result: Seit ich gekostet diesen wein came in too late

Plan, I will do that part again 3 times just Identifying where to come in, then test myself on it later in the practie.

Rep: 

Papageno first attempt: 


September 14th

mingminglala exercise: I feel like I struggled to find the up and over noble sound, I wasn't very well supported, my next exercise I will focus on support by doing the ss between each thing


Upandovernoblesound 1356531 I noticed that it wasn't getting taller in the back so I interspersed it with aaaeee (something that I open really well for) and that worked well


The Hung one: It was good, I feel like I have improved a lot on my low notes this semester, I notice that it is very open and forward when it is down low.


Hihayhahohohohohohuhahi 1358888531 Good, however could have been better supported


zi i ay oh ay i ah oh u
